@SenMikeLee Fine, but why not also get rid of the much larger subsidies to fossil fuel sources, who currently pay NONE of their external costs, they stick us with that bill. Tax GHG emissions and level the playing field!

America’s energy policy should benefit everyday Americans — not green grifters.
The Biden Admin’s green energy subsidies rigged the market, drove up costs, and left our grid more vulnerable.
It’s time to get rid of them.

I've been tracking this data. In March 2024, 3.4m people entered the US by car from Canada. In March 2025, just 2.5m, a 25-30% reduction. We're seeing an impact of declining US-Canada relations in hard data, in other words, not just polls, etc.

Elon Musk Defends Cutbacks Despite Mistakes, Still Calls Sen. Mark Kelly a Traitor

@SchoenPhotog @PeteButtigieg You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. Pete Buttigieg has served this country in uniform, which you clearly never did.

Even if the group chat story is real (doubtful), it’s a nothing burger. No breach, no scandal, just the left clawing for relevance like a desperate middle child. Just consider the source, Jeffrey Goldberg...being “accidentally” included in a war strategy chat is about as believable as his past hit pieces, fabricated, sensationalized garbage from a man who’s made a career out of smearing Trump with anonymous sources and zero integrity.
Pete “chestfeeding no-show” Buttigieg calling it a top-level screw-up? Please. The guy couldn’t even manage potholes, now he’s a national security expert?
These losers are melting down because Trump’s surging, and this is all they’ve got, fake drama and performative panic. Pathetic.
English
From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Atlantic@TheAtlantic
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

@elonmusk This is VERY wrong, and all should condemn it. But the company brand is now forever tarnished by Elon’s efforts to destroy our government and his support for fascism. He should resign as CEO, for the good of the company.

Not a SINGLE DEMOCRAT in Congress has condemned the terror attacks on Tesla, or the attempted m*rder of conservatives via swatting. WTF? Do these people REALLY hate America that much?

If true, a major law firm allowed itself to be extorted by the president. Remarkable

@SenatorShaheen Thank you for your service, it has been extraordinary.

Today, after careful consideration, I'm announcing that I have made the difficult decision not to seek reelection to the Senate in 2026.
There are urgent challenges ahead, both here at home and around the world. And while I'm not seeking re-election – believe me – I am not retiring.
English
@cr13646 @AmericaPapaBear @elonmusk No, that isn’t why. We hate him for trying to destroy our democracy, our government, our global reputation, our economy, our health care, and for driving UP the deficit because all of his screw ups will cost us billions to repair.
He is crazy.

“You need to sell your Tesla. I’m not going to warn you again.”

What is your reaction?

@TheVibesCulture @RepDonBeyer I should be able to take a walk in a free country without carrying my passport to prove citizenship! Did they see him break the law? No!

@RepDonBeyer Please know that ppl will be detained until they can verify. It is what it is. If they go into a restaurant or any facility doing an investigation, everybody will be detained until they find who they are looking for. He was handcuffed but did he go to jail???

ICE detained a U.S. citizen in Northern Virginia with guns drawn. He offered to show ID and told the officers he was an American citizen, but they handcuffed him anyway. The man is a Trump voter, but says he is reconsidering his support after he was targeted for being Hispanic:

@RepThomasMassie Zelensky will be fine. But Trump showed in his disgraceful UN vote and in the Oval whose side he is on...and it isn't ours. No one has ever disgraced the Oval or shamed his country more.
English
Is this the end of Zelensky’s presidency? He hitched his wagon to Biden and the deep state. They lost and now he doesn’t seem to be playing his cards well.
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 Zelensky is getting absolutely EVISCERATED in the Oval Office right now VP: “Do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” TRUMP: “You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards ... You're gambling with the lives of millions of people! You're gambling with World War III!”
English
@AnCapGermany @CorniaKen @elonmusk @RepThomasMassie Putin owns Trump because his bank, Sverbank, bought it from Deutsche Bank. So imagine what he has offered Trump for being a good little boy.
English
While I voted for President Trump & I support him, I often find myself at odds with him regarding Ukraine
Today was not the Trump administrations finest hour
Zelensky is trying to save his country, but unlike the ruthless dictator Putin, he gets no respect
I find it interesting that Trump supporters like Elon Musk & other conservatives in positions of power routinely belittle & bully Zelensky while saying nothing negative about Putin, who invaded Ukraine, & who continues to spill Ukrainian blood
Others in Musks echo chamber routinely follow him in jumping on Zelensky & the dog pile on the X platform ensues
Today, Vance brought up using diplomacy in Ukraine as if it were a new idea
Zelensky was merely responding to Vance with facts regarding diplomacy as Ukraine has tried diplomacy with Russia over the years to no avail
Zelensky correctly stated that several US presidents have been in office since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, including Trump
Trump had to rescue Vance after Zelensky embarrassed him by asking if he'd ever been to Ukraine
Vances' response, "Have you ever said thank you?" was weak, as Zelensky has thanked the American people many times
Meanwhile, the wealthiest man in the world, Elon Musk laughs at what Zelensky wears while calling the established liar Lavrov a diplomat
The Pro-Russian bias of Musk & some other conservatives is an embarrassment, just as todays bullying of Zelensky in the White House was for Trump
Good for Zelensky for standing his ground
English
@Bubblebathgirl @ChrisMurphyCT Since you love Putin, please move to Moscow.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT Zelenskyy now says he wants “security assurances” from the US in order for him to agree to peace.
HECK NO.
America is done funding Ukraine’s war. We never should’ve been in the first place.
If Chris Murphy loves Ukraine so much he can move there.

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.
This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.
1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.
Jordan Schachtel@JordanSchachtel
If you watch the full Trump-Zelensky press conference, it is very clear that Zelensky, not Trump or Vance, became the antagonist. Both POTUS and VP were very respectful and cordial until Zelensky very publicly ignited a firestorm. It all starts at 40:30 1) Zelensky essentially rejects how VP described the mandate of POTUS to conduct foreign affairs, and he insinuates that Trump term one did nothing to stop Putin. 2) He then basically tells Vance that his ideas are faulty and that the administration's diplomacy won't work. These two comments are *deliberately antagonistic.* Everything was all well and good, but Zelensky took two major shots in a public forum, and they had to respond. And respond they did. Recall, this is the guy who interfered in our electoral politics and called VP "too radical," and bashed Trump in an interview with New York Mag weeks before the election. Zelensky is ENTIRELY at fault here. 100%.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT Trump and Vance were incredibly rude, and in my mind, they are in bed with Putin, which is pure and simple treason,

@DQuilici1 @chrislhayes No one believes that. And everyone knows these firings are totally unrelated to performance.

@chrislhayes It’s amazing to me that our political and journalistic class believe that they can’t be fired for poor performance.

Just to be clear: these count as "cuts to social security". If you cut the way the program is administered, you're cutting it!
David Dayen@ddayen
BREAKING: Social Security Administration employees receive an email announcing "significant workforce reductions" and encouraging retirements and resignations. Previously sources have stated that cuts could hit 50% of the workforce
English
@elonmusk If you needed brain surgery, would you want the doctor to use a sledgehammer or a scalpel? Because the latter tool is the best for cutting waste as well. And you start by empowering the IGs, whose job is to cut waste and abuse and fraud, not by firing them. You are all wrong.

@FaceTheNation @margbrennan @SenMarkWarner Mark Werner is the worst kind of liberal partisan. He was absolutely nasty to Tulsi Gabbard.
@CBS should face investigation from @FCC for blatant partisanship and for taking orders from the DNC.
Margaret Brennan is absolutely blatant with her activist. This must change now!
English
As the investigation into Wednesday’s collision of an Army helicopter and a passenger plane continues, we’ll get an update Sunday from Virginia @SenMarkWarner. PLUS – will the Senate advance Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence? Tune in, 10:30amET.

NEW: Tech billionaire and lifelong Democrat Mark Pincus reveals his "Red Pill" moment, sparked by Mike Solana's Pirate Wires and the "very fine people" hoax, culminating in him voting for Donald Trump. "I started reading @PirateWires and @micsolana, and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos." "I said that can't be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media." "Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump's speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn't actually reflect what he said. That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment." "I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn't just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that's why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC." "They clearly know they are misrepresenting things, so for me, that was beyond uncomfortable. Now, I have to go back to first principles and look at the primary data, listen to only original speeches by people, and I just realized I couldn't trust the mainstream media."
